Ah, it is like fine wine and gourmet cheese blended together into a thick, decadent, royal purple smoothie. Sitting on the precipice of temptation, I stare the possibility of relapsing in the eyes - our first honest confrontation in months. The air is thin up here and the sun shines bright. As a confidence man of some pedigree, I can appreciate the strategically disarming honesty of heroin's offer to make time disappear. And yet here I am, still debating on whether or not to take that much desired vacation from reality later this week. I've always had perspective, but it was superficial. My mind would pay lip service to its existence and then almost categorically deny its influence. But now, my consciousness is fully marinated in the data from past mistakes and their subsequent timelines. I find myself drawn by less gravity to the black hole, although I still recognize that my jets need to be focused consistently on steering clear of the most powerful parts of the well. The ultimate test will come later this week.
